Luis Suarez committed to Liverpool future

Luis Suarez has confirmed he intends to stay at Liverpool, despite being forced to sit out the opening six matches of next season.

The striker was thought to be considering his future in England after the Football Association hit him with a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic.

However, Suarez, 26, has seemingly ruled out the possibility of a move to Bayern Munich or Juevntus – both of whom were said to be tracking the Uruguayan – by insisting his hope is to remain at Anfield.

Suarez said: ‘I have a deal with Liverpool and this is my present — and future.’

The Reds are in action this afternoon against Everton, and although Suarez admits he’s gutted to be missing the Merseyside clash, he’s confident the team can rise to the occasion without him.

‘From the day I arrived, I saw how special this derby is, so it is a pain to miss it,’ he added.
